  1. You mean like the way you bought (averaged into) the FAZ last week at 56.50 without any stop-losses and looking for $60?

  4. You aren't factoring in the FACT that we have a Triple Witching expiration at the end of the week and that most of the unwinding occurs on the Wednesday before expiration. This move could accelerate tomorrow.

    I was up actually quite a bit on that but decided to hold into GS earnings which were of course just horrible, yet after they reported the stock showed some upside. Am I worried about the financials taking off, not at all, I own a good amount of UYG shares that actually off sets my losses in SKF and FAZ combined.

    I was selling off my SKF position from $175 all the way to $250, since then I have added only to FAZ and will add more around $25 a share. Im holding onto my UYG until at least $15-20 which I know is quite far away from todays $6.25 close.
